I had mine replaced around 180,000. Then again, I had damage to the entire steering system. I sold mine with around 235,000. Apparently, the kid drove it back and fourth from school only for 1 week and the exhaust fell off. It sounded like he blew out the piston seals as well. I would not have expected anything like this out of that car. Its sad, I can only hope he got it fixed and the car isn't dead somewhere.
Looking good

Some other things I may not remember. The guy I bought it from was really up on his maintenance, included a book with all maintenance written down. He was really on it, too. If he stopped at a gas station and put air in the tires, he wrote it down.

That guy was the original owner. Even had the original title from 1999.

A well documented 285,000 mile 2 owner alero? Can't be many of those. 99% of surviving alero's are just trashed. Same for any intrigues I see around.
